Tam hits right on what makes old guns so awesome.
The possibility of what a gun has seen, and where it’s been is always one of those things that has intrigued me, and has in part spurred my interest in C&R firearms (aside from my ability to get carry guns in the mail); you look at that old pistol and you kind of wonder out loud “what have you seen?”
Pray to god it wasn’t some sort of firearms fetishist who stuck the gun somewhere it doesn’t belong…
